I haven't been in the store but ordered a Nikon bundle online. I received everything that was suppose to come within 2 days which I was ecstatic about. The tripod was damaged. It looked like damage to the box caused it. They replaced it immediately. Also I couldn't find prices like theirs anywhere. The bundle I got was similar to one on amazon and Teri state had it $50 cheaper. Great customer service. read more

BEWARE!!!! THESE PEOPLE ARE SCAMMERS! THEY WILL STEAL YOUR CREDIT CARD INFORMATION AND USE IT MONTHS LATER!!! I bought a lens from these guys, the lens was okay though it did have a tiny chip (I got what I paid for), but just today I got a call from my credit card company saying I had charges in NJ (I live in TN). These guys are scammers! Looks like their selling off credit card information to other people or they've got some kind of scam going on. read more

if i could give them zero stars i would. i am trying to get amazon.com to drop them from their website due to unfair sales practices. do not purchase anything from them unless you want to pay a 15% restocking fee plus pay for return postage. read more

HORRIBLE customer service. I purchased a meat slicer online, got an e-mail message that they didn't have it in stock but did have a more expensive item in stock -- which they were more than willing to accept payment via PayPal. I told them to cancel the order and refund the money. It's been TWO weeks and I still have not received my refund. read more

Terrible customer service- never answered phone during stated business hours, canceled order although my credit card was perfectly fine, had out of stock items listed as in stock on their website. Never made purchase. Opted to pay $20 more at a more reputable site. read more

I purchased Nikon D5300 from Tristate by looking only at Reseller ratings, delivery was fast. But when the product arrived, the box was already open and it was not sealed pack and no Nikon USA warranty card inside it. I already smelt something fishy but counseled my heart that the product might be good. Then I took several pictures and compared them with a friends Nikon D3300 and the picture quality was also very very bad, felt like a mobile camera and the portraits were even worse than the iPhone. I immediately decided to return the product. I started checking other website reviews and found out so negative comments on Yelp. I feel they pay reseller ratings and Google to make fake reviews to increase the ratings and fool the public, it's all business but I got fooled by Google for the first time and their ratings are now questionable. I called customer care who started arguing about the quality of camera and all. I remembered my Best Buy camera purchase few weeks back and the returns were so hassle free with full amount. I ultimately requested the refunds at the cost of myself paying the shipping charges for of both ways, mine 11$ and theirs they said 15-20$. So I atleast loosed 25-30$ And I have sent back the camera and I am still waiting for my refunds to be made! Moral of the story - More than the merchant, DONT TRUST RESELLER RATINGS! Now the big question is how to get my money back? read more

I purchased a camera from them and paid for it. Two days later, they cancelled my order and offered to sell it to me for more than 2 times the price that I had paid. I responded promptly, but they didn't reply for 6 days. This company seems to need to learn some serious business ethics. My wife and I have spent thousands on cameras and lenses in the last couple of years. This company has guaranteed not to see a single dollar from us. read more

I bought a Tamron lens from TriState on Ebay but then decided I would rather have another, more expensive. Sent email asking to change to the lens and pay the difference. Got a phone call, told them what I wanted to do. They charged My PayPal account for the exact difference and I received the new lens 2 days later. I thought the service and understanding of my request was excellent. I would buy from them again. read more

Had a great experience! Was a little skeptical at first because of some of the reviews I've read, but it seems like if they ever had any problems, they have been rectified My lens shipped shortly thereafter and I received it as expected. and Would DEFINITELY use TriState Camera again, no question. And recommend them to others. " read more

ZERO Stars! This is the worst business I have ever encountered. I ordered a Pentax DSLR from them and it took about ten days before it was even shipped so it took about 20 days before it arrived. When i got it, the camera was not working properly( not to mention I'm pretty sure it was a grey market camera) When I called Tri-States customer service they were extremely rude and were almost refusing to give me a RA# so I could return it. After several minutes of trying to persuade them to give it to me I got the return number. I sent it back and after three weeks after it was returned to them ( i know because I checked the tracking number) still no refund! I made several calls to the returns department and each time I was told they had processed my return and I would be refunded within the next few days. Two weeks passed and I still have not got been refunded and I don't know if I ever will be. I'm now filing a claim with my bank. Stay AWAY from Tri-State Camera. They are a HORRIBLE business and a bunch of THIEVES! read more
